A time of endings, A time of beginnings

Tonight marks the last night of our trip. I have seen God do awesome things on this trip, supernatural healing, His spirit falling on people and they lose of themselves, God touching peoples hearts and them coming to the salvation of Jesus Christ for the first time. I have seen God do amazing things through each and every member of this team.

Tomorrow we leave for the U.S., we are not returning the same as we left. We all have a deeper understanding of who God is, what He has done for all of us, and who we are in His kingdom.
I believe we will all be prepared to walk in what we have learned on this trip. But, we will not only be walking in His ways, but teaching His ways so that others will flow in the Kingdom ways, and in doing so what we have learned will not stagnate, but rather grow deeper and deeper.

I want what was learned by YPI 2010 to affect the world for generations to come, and I want God to continue to increase what He started here in Brazil.

May God pour forth His abundant blessings on each and every one of you.

Hey sorry i"m late on writing this.

Hey this is Lane.
Ok well this has been awesome so far. Right now we are going out to churchs in groups of ten or twelve. Tommy is doing awesome on his teachings he's our preacher right now and he is just awesome. Last night we healed 100 or mabye more people. After I had prayed for a whole bunch of people my translator asked if I would pray for his eyes cause he couldn't see well, he couldn't even read my name tag. So I prayed that his eyes be healed and I asked if he could read my name tag after I was done praying and he could read it perfectly.

Thanks for listening Lane.
We just started going out to some smaller churchs by ourselves, meaning that the main speakers that were here during the first week have gone home and we are still with Mark, operating in smaller groups. It's great! We actually get to go back to the same church we went to this Thursday, today. A little more than a hundred people were healed on Thursday, just in the church that we went to. Can't wait to get back there and continue! Thanks so much to all of those who are praying for our mission trip and God bless you.

Supernatural is the new normal

Okay, so on this trip I have seen God do amazing works. Not only through speakers like Randy Clark, but through the team and their hands, me and my hands. I have seen the supernatural as reality.

There was a woman who had 10 screws and a metal plate in her ankle, she had pain and restricted movment from this. She gets prayed for, the pain is gone and she has full movment restored.She goes to the doctor the next day and has her ankle X rayed. the doctor sees the X rays, goes up to the woman and says "please tell me you had somone remove that". In case you didn't catch that the metal dissapeared from her ankle through prayer.

There was a woman I prayed for, she had problems with her memory, as i prayed she said she could feel her brain being rewired.

There was a man (Julio) that a group of us were praying for, he had an infection in the tear ducts on his right eye, as we prayed for him he said he felt fire in his eye. One of us (Brandon) started calling for more fire. Julio gets slain in the spirit and falls over tears streaming from both eyes.

Now we are not super spiritual, perfect people. We are people who have decided that we want to walk in the power of God. We are no different than you, that means that you can also walk in this power. I challenge you, go forth, pray for people in Jesus name. He will show up, He is not a respecter of persons. If he will move through me he will move through you, even if you don't feel like he should. Just try it out.

I hope, I pray, you get what I am trying to tell you. I thank you for reading,and ask you to go forth and minister the kingdom,in Jesus name. God is with you.

Last night I saw God doing some amazing things. when we go to the churches we have a few people go off to a different area as intercessors during the service and they return when we start going out and praying for the people in the crowd. Well last night i volunteered as an intercessor, and you could feel the power of God in the upper room where we were at. after a while of us praying, a lady who is trained and seasoned in the sport of intercession came and showed us some tricks of the trade. like how to work together, intercession is a team sport. The power of God was already upon us in the room, but we started seeing how to flow together and compliment the revelations each of us were getting for further revelation of God and what he is doing.

I remember some of what God revealed to the group, but I had one thing happen to me that was amazing. We were praying, and I got slain in the spirit, so there I was, laying on my back just feeling the presence of God, and I ask " okay God, you have me here, what do you want to show me?" and I start getting words of knowledge all over the place. God touching me, bottom of the right foot,back of the left knee middle of the back:right side. With that God saying I want to heal this. I had 6 or 7 places, as Randy gave out 3 of the words of knowledge I got, the team gave out another 3. I gave only 1. so God confirmed what he revealed to me. Yeah it was pretty amazing.
I can't wait to see what God is going to do tonight

Thank you for reading and God bless you.

King of Glory and Grace

For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold, from those who walk uprightly. Oh Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts You!!! Psalms 84:11-12 At times all we can say is what an awesome God we serve. Oh Lord God of hosts, hear my (our) prayer; give ear Oh God of Jacob. Oh God, behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed. Psalms 84:8-9
Our God has done just this,He has given ear, looked upon His anointed, has been our sun and our shield, given us all glory and grace.....Most of all He has withheld no good thing.....He truly is the King of Glory and Grace........AMEN.......This team has been blessed beyond measure, we continue to bless all who are praying into this amazing work of Father God

Just a word

Joel 2:1-11 Blow the trumpet in Zion,And sound an alarm in my holy mountain! let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord coming, for it is at hand: A day of darkness and glominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the likes of whom has never been; Nor will there be any such after them even for many successive generations.

A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is like the Garden of Eden before them,and behind them a desolate wilderness; surley nothing shall escape them. Their appearence is like the appearence of horses; and like swift steeds, so they run. With a noise like chairiots over the mountains they leap, like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.

Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color. They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; every one marches in formation, they do not break ranks. They do not push one another; every one marches inhis own column. Though they lunge through weapons, they are not cut down. They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall they climb into houses, they enter at windows like a theif.

The earth quakes before the , the heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars diminsh their brightness. The Lord gives voice before his army, for His camp is very great; For strong is the one who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?

The mission trip is going great so far. We just started the training part of the trip today and I really enjoyed it. I'm lookin forward to actually getting to go out to some of the churchs in the area and seeing more of the country itself. Thanks to everyone for their prayers.

life shown in the heart of winter

I would like to thank all of you who have sown into this trip(prayer or fianancally) and let you know that you have sown into good ground.

Here in Brazil they are in the middle of from what I hear, a harsh winter for the area. The countryside is greener than any place i have ever seen. In seeing this God gave me a word, This team is going to be seen in the spiritual winter (both here and where we return to) and we will be seen bearing fruit in the heart of winter, and those who seeus will glorify God. and as with the rod of Aaron, life brought forth(where it was not before) is His symbol of leadership.

once again, thank you for sowing, you will reap the rewards.
May His peace be with you.

Hey guys this is Lane.
We arrived at Curitiba Brazil at around 8:00 p.m. last night. We've been having an awesome time so far and learning lots of new things and we've only been here like a day and a half. At worship this morning I was up there danceing and praising the lord and thats pretty crazy for me cause I dont dance in front of alot of people usually so praise the Lord. But when we were dancing all the fire of the lord came on the building so much then that we were all sweating like crazy and when I finally sat down my legs were shaking and it took a while before it setteld down haha. I been loving it so far but please keep us in your prayers we still have a long way to go.

Thanks for listening and God bless You.

Lane
